If you are like me, you will use a few programs very frequently. One way to make them start faster is to give them their own Run command:

1. Win+R to open the Run dialog
2. Enter %windir% to open the Windows directory
3. Alt+F W S to open the File menu, choose the New menu item, then the Shortcut menu item
4. Go through the wizard to create a shortcut to the desired program
5. The name you give the shortcut is what you type in the Run dialog to start the program
